It's been a month since the first progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Add Layered/Stencil rendering.

rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. What is it?
